Google has released its list of most-searched Halloween costumes of 2019. At the top of the list is "It" -- referencing Pennywise, the creepy clown from the Stephen King novel and the big screen. "It: Chapter Two" is currently in theaters.

Second on the list is a little more traditional: a witch. Google doesn't specify if we're talking scary witch, good witch or sexy witch.

Coming in third nationally is Spider-Man, fresh off the success of "Avengers: Endgame," "Spider-Man: Far From Home" and the announcement that Marvel Studios and Sony will continue its partnership to keep Spidey in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

While a lot of the costumes that were nationally ranked also made it in the top five for searches in different states, a handful of options only popped up once or twice.

Be on the lookout for Sheriff Woody in Alaska, he was the third most searched costume in that state. Don't be shocked if you see Pikachu around Arkansas, the Pokemon character was one of the top five most-searched there.

Don't be surprised if you see the Mystery Machine out and about in Washington, D.C., because Scooby-Doo was the most searched costume in the nation's capital.

Other costumes that only made it into the top five for one or two states includes:
